Hey Alan,
I don't want to redirect. I'll try and to explain it a bit more.
Basically I have two forms. One which is a drop down, in pure html
<form action="/user/login" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="_formname" value="login">
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="/feed">
<input type="text" name="email" id="auth_user_email">
<input type="password" name="password" id="aut_user_password">
<input type="submit" value="login">
</form>
^ this Form is on every page which the user is not logged into. When they
fill out this form and click submit I want the /user/login page to process
it, but it is not doing so. When the page finds there is an error with the
login or the user is not authorised, I would like the /user/login form
which is exactly the same form as above but on another page with the drop
down one removed, to present there was an error with the login.
Both forms I've done in html so there is no form key to process. I'm trying
to figure out why auth.login() doesn't process it as the form.accepts()
method in auth.login() has the same formname. What is preventing it from
being processed. It's driving me in sane. I'm stepping through the code in
debug mode and can't find why it would not process it. It is basically a
SQL form in html like described in the web2py book.
Any insight would be great by any!
